Amalia Chardonnay

and mothers are always celebrated together at Palmaz Vineyards. Amalia Palmaz was the inspiration and instigator of our Chardonnay. Although Julio always wanted a singular focus on exceptional Cabernet, Amalia convinced him that not every meal needs to be paired with such powerful wine; once in a while, she said, “a little white can be delightful.” He acquiesced, dedicating one tunnel in the Cave to Chardonnay fermentation.

2016 Palmaz Vineyards Amalia Chardonnay

Our 2016 Amalia Chardonnay is one that begs to be enjoyed right away. Beginning with aromas of simmering yellow apples in brown sugar, the nose draws you in. Upon first sip, the presence of French Oak holds a weighty texture that fills the palate. Once there, the wine transitions seamlessly to flavors of a crisp, ripe Washington apple; its clean finish is sure to leave you ready for an encore. But if you forget about a bottle or two in the cellar, don’t fret, the wine will continue to reward you as it ages.
